CCCU Annual Awards Ceremony 2023

Posted on: 19/07/2023

CDS has been working in partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) and their PGCE programme over the past three years.  The School’s Initial Teacher Training (ITT) staff have provided an excellent provision to our student teachers, including whole staff and ITT training, PGCE forums and effective mentoring. 

During the 2023 CCCU annual awards ceremony, one of the CDS mentors, Mrs Endersby was nominated in the Top Role Model category and won! Mrs Endersby is a brilliant mentor and  has supported many English PGCE trainees and ECT’s over the years.  Mrs Endersby mentors with such clear guidance, patience, and fidelity.  The time she gives to ensure her mentees receive the support and guidance they need goes above and beyond.

Congratulations to Mrs Endersby for such well-deserved recognition!
